Thunder forward Kevin Durant has come second in the draft and MVP votings, but nobody in the NBA can touch him nowadays when it comes to pitching products - whether it's shoes, video games or soft drinks. He leads our Commercials Rankings and No. 2 (Kobe Bryant) is not even close.

Ex-Knick Chris Smith has entered the D-League draft with the hope of getting another opportunity to play in the NBA. “Whatever's going to give me the best opportunity to perform on a level where I can get myself in a good position to get myself back into the NBA, that's the route I want to take,” Smith said last week in an interview at his skills camp for young players. Smith, the younger brother of J.R. Smith, began last season on the Knicks' roster. His inclusion on the 15-man roster stirred strong emotion from the team's fan base because of his ties to his brother. Both the Knicks and Chris Smith have acknowledged that Smith's older brother was a factor in the team's decision to keep him. The Knicks eventually sent Smith to their D-League team. Smith was released by the D League affiliate -- the Erie Bayhawks -- in March. ESPN.com
